Blinding Lights - (Friday Funk Jam)

video by Luke Million

"Whilst digging for some tunes to play this Saturday Night at RCC, I reminded myself how much I love the synths in 'Blinding Lights' by The Weeknd. Here's a stripped back version on a couple of my favourite synths 🎹🎹🎹

Drums: Ableton Push 2 (Linndrum Samples)
Synth Pads : Roland SH2 & Jupiter 4
Synth Bass: Moog Multimoog
Synth Lead: SCI Prophet 5 Rev 3
Synth Chords: Roland Juno 6
Vocoder: Roland VP330 Vocoder Plus"

"The Synton modules were expertly rebuilt and all the pots are a year old. The CGS Serge, Jurgen Haible Frequency shifter modules and Blacet were built and re-paneled by the same engineer who worked on the Synton 3000 only 6 months ago. It really does sounds great. If I were to keep it I would replace the PS with a nice linear supply but works fine as-is.

3017 VCF (2 pole state variable filter)
3224 Hi/Low Pass VCF
3005 EGR (ADSR)
3010 VC-EGR (VC-ADSR)
3218 INV / SLR (Dual inverter/offset and slew limiter)
3233 S&H / LFO
3235 ENV / CPR (Envelope follower, comparator, and trigger delay)
Blacet 2100 VCO
Blacet / Wiard Miniwave with Socket Rocket
CGS Serge WAD (Wilson Analog Delay)

Oberheim Marion MSR-2 Analog Modular Synthesizer Rack

"The Marion MSR-2 was designed by Tom Oberheim and so it is known for having the 'Oberheim sound' packaged inside a compact single-space rackmount module with modern digital reliability and MIDI implementation. Despite its rather harmless and simple appearance, the MSR-2 allows for some fairly complex but intuitive programming. The filters, envelopes, LFOs and other parameters are very analog-like in their sound and editing methods. The module is also 16-part multitimbral. And external inputs route a signal through the envelope and filter sections. The MSR-2 is rare but definitely worth checking out."

"extremely rare Jomox Sunsyn in near mint condition.
MK2 version (Stable version).
Handeled with much care in studio as shown in pictures."

This is one of those "synths that got away" from me. I never picked one up but I did get a chance to play with one once. The RCOs are amazing. I wish I could afford one... Another synth that "got away" is the L.L. Electronics Rozzbox. I was always tempted to pick one up but never did.

Roland Jupiter-8 The Arpeggiator | Magic!

video by Espen Kraft

TheSynthFreq's Jupiter-8!

"I'm an arpeggiator addict. I've always been drawn to the synths that has built in arpeggiators. The Jupiter 8 has one of the best arps on any vintage synths, maybe the best even.

Not necessarily because I'd use it in every song, I like to play my arps myself, but to me it's an instant source of inspiration, but also very usable in a live situation. Octave bass, fillers or just a fun way of chopping up the chords.

The arp in the Jupiter 8 is very cool. It defaults to the "Poly 2" key mode, but it can be used in all the key modes actually, in Unison as well.
In this video I also clock it from an external trigger (the 808) where I have programmed a 16 step accent that goes out of the 808 through the "accent out" and in to the JP8s arpeggio "trigger in".
You can also use DIN-sync from other external gear and the JP8 then gives you the possibility to change the clock divider, also from the back switches.

Using the trigger accents means that you can program any pattern you want and have the arp play according to the steps programmed so you don't HAVE to use only a 16 beat pattern."
